Shower tray repair in Norcot without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading.

Repair or replace in Norcot?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Norcot
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Norcot?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Norcot
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Norcot.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
